Description

The small Opinel Les Forgés 1890 chef's knife has a blade of only 17 cm. To avoid losing cutting surface, the blade is sharpened along its entire length. A chef's knife is used to cut vegetables, meat, fish and fruit. But also for chopping herbs, crushing peppercorns and peeling garlic cloves. This knife stands out for its robustness, perfect balance, durability and excellent cutting qualities.

Beech handle

The handle of this kitchen knife is made of stabilized beech. Stabilization consists of adding resin to the wood under pressure at high temperature. Once stabilized, the wood 'works' less when exposed to heat and humidity. In addition, it allows you to color it. Opinel chose a beautiful dark brown shade which gives the knife a luxurious appearance.

Reminder: natural materials like wood have natural variations. The knife you receive at home may therefore differ subtly from the product photos. However, the model and material always remain the same. Each knife is therefore unique. That's what makes them so special.

Robust X50CrMoV15 stainless steel

The blade is forged from a piece of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel which extends under the entire handle. Giving the knife perfect balance. This type of steel resists rust, is durable and hard enough to slice and peel fruits, vegetables and potatoes. This is why it is frequently chosen for the manufacture of European knives.

Maintenance of Les Forgés knives

Kitchen knives from the Les Forgés range should never be put in the dishwasher. Wash them by hand and dry them immediately. The handle is water resistant. But don't let the knife soak in water. After use: wash, dry and store.
